Getting Started with Azure Resiliency Agent: From Identifying Gaps to Planning Improvements

Deploying an application in Azure is only the beginning. The more important question is what happens when part of that application becomes unavailable.Can the application continue serving users if an availability zone fails? Is the database protected against the same failure? Are backups sufficient for the recovery time the business expects?

These questions become harder to answer when an application depends on resources spread across multiple resource groups and subscriptions. Each service has its own configuration options, limitations, and recovery behaviour. A healthy resource dashboard alone does not answer whether the application can survive an outage.

Azure Resiliency agent provides a conversational starting point for this work. This article explains where it fits, how to get started, and how to use it in a practical assessment involving Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server.

Preview note: This article reflects Microsoft documentation checked on 30 August 2026. The Resiliency agent is in preview; access requirements, portal labels, supported capabilities, and pricing can change. The example below is illustrative, not a report of a completed deployment or failover test.

What is Azure Resiliency agent?

Resiliency agent is integrated into Azure Copilot and helps users explore application resilience through natural language conversations. For new workloads, it can review an architecture description and generate ARM or Bicep templates incorporating resilience configurations. For existing workloads, it guides assessment and remediation.
